as well as to evangelicals and Catholics who know the gulf between their theology and that of the LDS Church but who would no more verbally assault their Mormons friends, neighbors and business colleagues than they would any other American different from them on matters of faith.

I attend a fairly large church with a relatively well known pastor. It's funny; just this past Sunday, he delivered a sermon that chastised evangelicals for accepting Mormonism as a legitimate Christian faith.

I don't know that it was a "verbal assault," as the author puts it, but I just am not sure his statement is totally true.

Hewitt is hardly believable anymore due to his shameless shilling for Romney. That being said he is correct on this one.

“When Mike Huckabee asked a New York Times’ reporter, “Don’t Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers,” he crossed a line he cannot uncross.”

If only Romney would respond with: “No. Hillary is Jesus’ SISTER.”

" Huckabee's obvious attempt to salt the mine and get the reporter to carry antt-Mormon rhetoric into the paper without Huckabee's fingerprints on it backfired, and the transparent attempt to use the MSM to further the anti-Mormon message was repulsive."

Obvious? What's obvious here other than once again the slimes deplore Christians? Come one Hugh...you are playing straight into the hands of the biggest right wing haters on earth. Christianophobia is not a view that I want would want pander to. They would love nothing more than to split Mormons against Protestants. Get a grip.

I thought she was Satan's sister.

Exactly. True colors shown, enough said for me (added to his illegal-embracing treachery).

What does Mitt Romney believe as a faithful Mormon?

The Pearl of Great Price - the Book of Moses, Chapter 4

  1 And I, the Lord God, spake unto Moses, saying: That Satan, whom thou hast commanded in the name of mine Only Begotten, is the same which was from the beginning, and he came before me, saying—Behold, here am I, send me, I will be thy son, and I will redeem all mankind, that one soul shall not be lost, and surely I will do it; wherefore give me thine honor.
  2 But, behold, my Beloved Son, which was my Beloved and Chosen from the beginning, said unto me—Father, thy will be done, and the glory be thine forever.
  3 Wherefore, because that Satan rebelled against me, and sought to destroy the agency of man, which I, the Lord God, had given him, and also, that I should give unto him mine own power; by the power of mine Only Begotten, I caused that he should be cast down;
  4 And he became Satan, yea, even the devil, the father of all lies, to deceive and to blind men, and to lead them captive at his will, even as many as would not hearken unto my voice.

Spencer W. Kimball, Conference Report, April 1964, Pg.95:

"There is another power in this world forceful and vicious. In the wilderness of Judaea, on the temple's pinnacles and on the high mountain, a momentous contest took place between two brothers, Jehovah and Lucifer, sons of Elohim."

As a Mitt Romney supporter, even I sometimes want to tell Hugh to shut up already. :-)

True colors shown.

Yup, it crossed a line for me too. There are only two explanations. Either Huckabee is really that dumb to bring that up to a NY Times writer instead of getting the answer to the question himself or he did it on purpose to appear innocent while planting a hateful seed. Selecting either one of these options in a president is unacceptable to me when there are so many better choices.

Tell your pastor that Pope Benedict has been working hard to bring different religions together.

But this is what they believe. So why not voice that?

Whose statement is it that you are not sure is true? Huckabee’s , Hewitt’s or your pastor’s?

I used to like Hewitt. Now he’s a caricature of a Romney cheerleader.

He’s embarrassing in his hatred for Huckabee.

FWIW, I’m inclined to vote for Romney. I won’t vote for Huckabee. But we can do without the nastiness against Huckabee.

How come the Media never accuses Hillary of a low blow?

He pulled a Nixon. Nixon was famous for asking harmful questions and qualifying them by saying I don’t believe this, but people say it all the time.

What's more telling is that Romney supposedly accepted Huckabees apology where he explained that he was taken out of context but Romeny then proceeded to perpetuate what the Christian hating slimes started by insinuating that Huckabee had fallen into the usual smearing of all Mormons. I'm sure it has occurred to Romney that many are not familiar with the Mormon beliefs.

Truth is Huckabee fell straight into the hands of the right wing enemy and Romney is feeding them for his own personal gain, which is much more despicable than asking a question in my opinion.
